A Lott of outrage

Feel the love, Sen. Lott:
Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, R-Miss., has been inundated with so many phone calls in his Washington office over his support for the immigration bill that he has taken to picking up the phone himself.
“Some people were pretty startled,” said Lott spokesman Lee Youngblood.
Lott’s position on the immigration bill has angered some radio talk show hosts who have publicized the office numbers of his Washington and Jackson offices, leading to jammed lines that often ring “busy” and e-mail servers that fill up.
“The problem has been that when lines are tied up, people with concerns about Social Security or veterans’ benefits can’t get through,” said Youngblood. “That’s what has posed the greatest challenge.”
Lott on Tuesday was one of 24 Senate Republicans who helped break a stalemate and move the bill forward. Its final passage remains uncertain.
Lott has expressed concern that some people who call use profanity and inappropriate language…
…As to the volume of calls, which number in the thousands, Youngblood said, “It’s safe to say that it’s the most phone traffic we’ve had in a number of years.”

that you can use to reach the Seante switchboard, from which you can be
switched to any Senator’s office and possibly avoid the full mailbox

What a crock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We are horrible horrible people aren’t we? Denying Vets and the elderly access to their Senator!……grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Note that the immigration shamnesty bill isn’t the problem, it’s all those pesky plebes tying up the phone lines!
Insomniac on June 27, 2007 at 10:36 AM
Peter Boyles on KHOW in Denver brings up an interesting point.
He says that in the case of Date Rape we are all taught that no means no. So whey is it that the Senate does not understand that when the people say no it means no. Especially since this is an obvious case of “STATE RAPE“
400lb Gorilla on June 27, 2007 at 10:37 AM
This should show them that right now, immigration is what matters most to people, and that people are not happy w/ Lott and all the others who voted for this terrible bill.
StephC on June 27, 2007 at 10:38 AM
Newsflash:
Trent Lott enrages his constituency by support of amnesty! Widows, orphans and veterans most affected!
Nichevo on June 27, 2007 at 10:40 AM
He needs to know, he is a Senator in a representative democracy not an oligarchy.
He is just another case for term limits.
TheSitRep on June 27, 2007 at 10:40 AM
I love how it’s talk radio’s fault. When’s somebody going to shut those guys up?!
I also think it’s hilarious that Lott is “concerned” about all the people trying to get through to talk to his office about Social Security and veterans’ benefits. Uh-huh. People concerned about those things have been ignored and put off for years. A few more days isn’t going to matter. I think it’s appropriate that those concerned about the immigration bill be ignored and put off first, don’t you? ;-)
aero on June 27, 2007 at 10:40 AM
He doesn’t mind people expressing their views, he just doesn’t care what those views are.
Limerick on June 27, 2007 at 10:43 AM
Lott has proven without a doubt that he is incompetent double talking weasel. He looks like a starving sharecropper knocking on the backdoor of the big house looking for a hand out. Kennedy wouldn’t spit on him if he was on fire. Lott sucked up to him on the floor of the Senate. Kennedy was probably amused at the adoration from a subject.
volsense on June 27, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Just exactly who is he representing?
Anyone ask that yet?
With only 20% in favor, who’s bidding is he doing?
Inquiring minds want to know.

IMO Lott is just biding his time in the Senate for the big payoff as a lobbyist.

That’s your own fault Senator.
The American people have spoken and you ignored what they had to say, you bet their calling.
The question is, can you hear us now?

I love that picture. It makes me chuckle every time.
Matticus Finch on June 27, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Senator Lott and other politicians are individuals who have though own views. I’m a conservative Republican but I can’t stand how conservative bloggers and radio talk show hosts our treating Republicans on this bill. When you vote for someone to Elected office you vote for them because you agree with them more often then not, not because you agree with them on every single issue.
chip91 on June 27, 2007 at 10:52 AM
This whole thing stinks more then my bait bucket…..what the hell kind of back-door deal was made here? Was it simply a case of we-know-we-loose in 08 anyway and everyone decided to deal away for their own benefit? Something really isn’t right about this whole thing. I’m no black-helicopter nut but something is causing these snakes to turn on us.
The ‘we need the Hispanic vote’ thing is nothing but a smoke screen. That will not happen for decades, if at all.
Since when are the up and comers not going to opt for the party that offers the biggest safety net? The Hispanic vote is a mirage for what is really going on here.

sonnyspats1 on June 27, 2007 at 10:55 AM
It’s time for a lot more action than phone calls and emails. We have flooded Congress with phone calls and emails and it has accomplished nothing.
People keep saying this bill is being forced so strongly because big business has boughour Senate. I’m not sure if it’s that or the fact that it creates 12-20 million new voting democrats. But if big business does have a huge hand in this, we need to know specifically which businesses are involved so we can make it known that they are going to lose all of OUR business because of it. And then we need to back it up with a nationwide boycott of ALL the businesses involved.
Privatestock on June 27, 2007 at 10:56 AM
Limerick on June 27, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Limerick,
All you need to do is watch any business show. They get the talking heads from Wall St on there and there may be one lone voice saying this is bad legislation but by a wide margin all of the business community thinks this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
When they use the argument about the cheap labor force in the construction market I am left wondering why do houses cost so much then?
The poiticians pander to those who but money in their pockets and fund their campaigns.
LakeRuins on June 27, 2007 at 10:56 AM
It seems the Senate has a bunker mentality about this. Both the left and the right aren’t thrilled with this bill, but Lott is in the foxhole with Teddy Kennedy.
Trust me Trent, you don’t want to be in a foxhole with Ted Kennedy…or in a 1969 Oldsmobile.
Matticus Finch on June 27, 2007 at 10:57 AM
At the very least we expect our representatives to debate the bill rather than ram it through with parlaimentary procedure and to not endorse curbs on free speach.

No dipsh%t you are not and your not fooling anyone, if you were a conservative republican then like every other conservative republican in the country you would be screaming your bloody head off. No your just a worthless Moby pretending to be something that you obviously cant even begin to understand, and that something would be a conservative republican.
So just STFU and STFD…….

Is the foxhole filled with water?
Nosferightu on June 27, 2007 at 10:59 AM
It would probably be easier to make a list of all the businesses that DON’T hire illegals. Pretty short list, I’d imagine. ARE there any?
aero on June 27, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Trent Lott and Lee Youngblood prove once again that they are both a couple of friggin liars.
If they had any interest in or concern with Social Security issues they wouldn’t be trying to foist a bill on Americans that grants Social Security to illegal aliens.
And the biggest issue Veterans have right now is traitorous a-holes like Lott who are willing to sell out the Country for their own personal enrichment.
there it is on June 27, 2007 at 11:03 AM
Watching C-Span right now. Sen. Fienstein is talking about “biometric documents”… Keep your ear to the ground on this one.
Teddy inturrupts, “tamper proof cards”.
That is you and me folks. Are you ready to stand in line to prove that you are a United States citizen? That is what the Dems want. Everyone get in line and PROVE TO THE GOVERNMENT who you are and what your right is to walk unchallenged in our nation…
This is all a direct result of the got’s direct failure to secure our borders and stop illegal hiring.
You will pay through lack of freedom and your being forced to stand before a gov’t funtionary. This is the solution our gov’t has in mind for us…
Even if the Fed. gov’t COULD pull off a Stalinesque move like this (which they at the present moment are absolutely unable to do) is this what you wish for your country?
I say screw the 12-20 million that have invaded our country; close the borders down, fix the immigration system so documents aren’t put through shredders, beef up ICE and let the American people (the same people that you want to stand in line for “biometric security”) KNOW that our existing gov’t functionaries are actually doing their jobs, then, let’s talk about people here now…
Babs on June 27, 2007 at 11:03 AM
If he thinks his phone lines are tied up now prevent those with benefit concerns, etc., from getting through, just wait until the 20 million
illegalsI mean “legals” bring in all their family members and they all start calling wondering where their benefits are. He ain’t seen nothin’ yet.Qzsusy on June 27, 2007 at 11:06 AM
This in and of itself should send them the message that this “Bill” of theirs is wrong.
Viper1 on June 27, 2007 at 11:07 AM
I think there should be a ‘I choose no candidate’ or a ‘No Confidence’ choice when voting, and they should have to be published. I think that would be pretty damning of idiots like Lott and the rest of the rodents scurrying about Capitol Hill.
Bad Candy on June 27, 2007 at 11:07 AM
Sorry pal but I don’t listen to talk radio. Ooops…sorry….maybe once every two weeks I hear Glen Beck when I am driving into town. That is it. I don’t have a ‘Rush-Baby’ sticker on my bumper. I just know a flim-flam when I see one and this bill is a flim-flam.
Limerick on June 27, 2007 at 11:08 AM
I am so glad Trent thinks my education is tird world. I no hobola english. Maybee that was his thought supporting this p.o.s. bill. If we do not know , we can not tell.
Sorry Trent, the internet has polorized a lot of people and they are informed of what is going on and only you and Dianne tree hugger can stop us…………Fairness Doctrine????

Revolution is the only thing that can fix this country. In other words, we’re screwed.
Privatestock on June 27, 2007 at 11:12 AM
These politicos are not interested in you, or me, or this country. Their only interests are their petty careers and votes. The theat of losing their place at the public feeding trough is the only thing that will motivate them to act in the people’s best interest. Sad but true.
rplat on June 27, 2007 at 11:13 AM
They are there to represent their constituents, Chip. If the constituents, by large numbers, express dissent, they should be listening. This is not a case of simply disagreeing with them on A random issue. This ONE issue is the life or death of this country as we know it. So, excuse us if we’re not able to bite our tongues. I for one, am not interested in letting a bunch of elitist Globalist destroy the Country my ancestor suffered to create, and other ancestors died to protect, simply because these a$$holes care more about money.
Don’t preach to us. You should note..in a country that seems to care more about Paris Hilton’s latest idiocy than the impinging by Government on our lives, some ridiculously high number of folks are paying attention for the first time. This is not a simple disagreement. This is the beginnings of a revolution. Accept it and deal with it.
Help us out, or get out of the way.
tickleddragon on June 27, 2007 at 11:14 AM
They deal only in money and power. If you can’t affect either of those, they honestly do not care about you.

Dude, I’m a Democrat, don’t listen to talk radio regularly and agree about 50% of the time with fellow HotAir comments, but even I can see what an absolute travesty this bill is.
Senator Lott’s views are supposed to represent his constituents views.

Bad Candy on June 27, 2007 at 11:07 AM
What we need is a new amendment to the constitution that allows any senator or congressman to be recalled. We also need an amendment that forces the government to initiate criminal investigations of corrupting of senators congressmen and any federal or state elected official at the request of the people themselves. Sadly I doubt even the most courageous of congress critters like Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo have to balls to author legislation like this.

Hey, I’ve been here a while and all of a sudden started seeing the word “Moby”. Can someone please tell me what that means, literally? I think I’ve got the gist, but not sure of the context.
Is it referring to Moby the dj/artist, or Moby Dick? ;)
tickleddragon on June 27, 2007 at 11:20 AM
doriangrey, I am a conservative Republican. I support the war in Iraq, fiscal conservatism, and am pro-life. President Bush, Minority Leader McConnell, Senator Lott, Senator McCain, Senator Kyl, etc., etc., etc. are right on on this issue. There are a group of people who think that anything that’s not deporting 12 million Illegal Aliens in a short period of time is amnesty. This bill strengthens border security, and creates a temporary worker program. The immigration debate is more then just whining that anything that’s not lock step with idea is amnesty.
chip91 on June 27, 2007 at 11:21 AM
I’d say we’re not quite at apathy yet. We’re between apathy and complacency.
Bad Candy on June 27, 2007 at 11:21 AM
If every single illegal restaurant worker were driven out of our country, every single one, would our entire way of life come crashing down?
I don’t think so. On the contrary, I think people like my college age children would have a real incentive to get a part time job.
The idea that our “restaurant industry” would collapse might actually be a good thing…
I also think that the typical American household would prepare more meals at home and, healthier meals. When I was raising children and had to turn the meals out daily I served all kinds of raw foods. Why? Because I didn’t have to put a whole lot of work into it. So, fruit, veggie, hard boiled eggs and cheese plates along with basic bread and butter were foods that we ate on a regular basis. Is the restaurant industry really doing any of us a favor?
To hear Diane Fienstein talk, we will all sink into the mire if the restaurant workers are regulated…
Babs on June 27, 2007 at 11:22 AM
Chip we elected them to be our voice in Washingotn. I am glad they have an opinion, but when the folks back home have a different they must put aside their personal opinion in favor of the folks they represent. Or at least that was how the founding fathers viewed it. Our congress critters are now all of the opinion that they know better then us. They put on bliders and insert ear plugs and go about their business, while hoping not to get their clothes soiled by screaming masses. Masses that just might be arming themselves with torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers.
Ahhh for the good ‘ol days.
LakeRuins on June 27, 2007 at 11:23 AM

Funny, WE’RE the crazy ones for wanting the laws we already have in place to actually mean something. WE’RE the crazy ones for thinking we should have a country, a country with borders.
If Bush and Co. actually want to secure the borders, then why the heck don’t they? Who is stopping them?
Esthier on June 27, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Chip, you do realize that amnesty is gonna give the Democrats a permanent majority, and anything other conservative thing you believe in is never gonna happen if that happens, right? So why the hell would you support this nightmare?

We ain’t nowhere near the deporting stage yet. We want to stop the bleeding. Take a First Aid course and the first things they teach you is to stop the bleeding, restore the breathing, protect the wound. You don’t do it all at once. Step one is to stop the damn bleeding. When we have fewer or none coming in then that 12 million can’t grow to 15 million which leads to the next argument of you can’t deport 15 million. Were people arguing back in 1985 that you couldn’t deport X number of millions when the first amnesty got rammed through? Would we be in this situation if we had actually deported them back them?
LakeRuins on June 27, 2007 at 11:28 AM

New laws are not needed. The previous laws would do just fine except they do not work and that is why? Because we do not enforce. What makes you think a new series of laws will be enforced?
Congress, the Administration and the Justice Dept have demonstrated nothing to me they will do a thing to make any laws, current or new, work.
I say shit can the entire shamnesty bill, enforce current laws and then come back in a year or so to see what we really need to fix.

That is understandable, but do you think that this is the issue to be silent on? We did not send our representitives to Washington to pass legislation that benefits big business. Regardless of the issues we elected them on, we expect them to react to our demands. And along that line of thought, I don’t know of ANY conservatives that ran on an amnesty platform, so if they really want to represent us, they need to listen and obey our commands. This isn’t like an issue that only affects a few Americans. This is going to affect all of us, and more importantly our children.

Do Americans prefer a bill that says, “you are legal one day after we pledge money for a fence,” or “you are legal one day after the fence is built”?? I cannot allow Snow, Lott, or anyone else to claim they are listening when they are pushing for legal status after merely a pledge (bribe) of money.

Cornyn got an ear full, believe me. This is one Texan who keeps his faith in God, his eye on the preacher, and his hand on his wallet. I don’t trust any of them right now.
Keep the pressure on everyone cause if they think you are napping you’ll find yourself down the river.

Senator Lott and other politicians are individuals who have though own views. I’m a conservative Republican but I can’t stand how conservative bloggers and radio talk show hosts our treating Republicans on this bill. When you vote for someone to Elected office you vote for them because you agree with them more often then not, not because you agree with them on every single issue.

Tony Snow is correct, the administration is listening. The problem is that they think we are a bunch of ignorant misguided children who cant be trusted to make the right decision.

Vote them out
What we need is more people to come together and vote these dead beats out of office.
Send faxes and call, call and call them to tell them that they will be history when election time comes around.
Mark levin for president :)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Hmmm… just how DO you petition the Government for a redress of grievances? Whats the mechanism?
You can’t sue the Fed government for NOT doing their job… which is the problem with immigration…

Chip91,
Chip no offense here but at 15 years of age do you really know what your talking about?

The whole problem here is that the answer is so simple. We the people can not understand why our “leaders” are too stupid to see it.
Secure the border.
Get rid of the employee hiring magnet
those two are a given. After that it gets tricky.
Question
Is there anyone on this site that would be opposed to a path way to citizenship if the border was proven secured for say a period of 3 years?
